The line Ultimate current, whose beginning dates back to the miniseries Ultimate Invasion (2023), in which the Creatorwhich is an evil version of Reed RichardsTry to prevent the heroes from existing one day, he is currently composed of no less than four collections (all in force since 2024), whose titles are: Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men, The last y Ultimate Spider-ManThe only one who, at least in our country, is distributed in clip and monthly. This head is precisely in which we will stop in this article.
However, this does not mean that we will analyze the complete collection, since the goal that concerns us, this time, is to focus on the comic Ultimate Spider-Man nº 10 (2024), which is the last specimen of the head that saw the light in our country, within which it is the cartoon Octoberby the screenwriter Jonathan Hickman and the cartoonist David Messinawhose complete coverage can be seen under this paragraph.
The plot of Ultimate Spider-Man nº 10 revolves around the investigations conducted by Ben Parker and from J. Jonah Jameson To bring to light all the lies of Wilson Fiskbetter known as Pin. The story focuses on both investigations that its own Peter Parker Becomes a secondary character of the adventure, to the point that he cannot even wear the suit of Spiderman At no time.
However, what interests us in this case is not so much the plot and cover of the comic Ultimate Spider-Man nº 10Since it is a clear tribute to two other classic roofs closely linked to the superhero of Aráncido and its adventures, as you can check if you continue to read the article until the end.
The Amazing Spider-Man nº 39 (1966)
This comic, which contains history How green my Goblin was!It is written by Stan Lee and designed by John Romita Sr.in which he is his first graphic adventure in the original head of SpidermanAfter the march of Steve Ditko. Within its pages we find one of the most important classic adventures in the history of the character, since both the hero and the villain discover the civil identity of the other, thanks to which the readers learned that the face that was hidden under the mask of Green elf It was nothing more than Norman OsbornA fact completely unknown at that moment.
The iconic of this cover was so capitalized that, in addition to having been referenced on several occasions within its comic books of the publishing house, something that is usually common with the covers that reach the status of legendary, managed to do The leap to the audiovisual world as can be seen in the fourteenth chapter of the third season (41 of the complete series) of the animated series Spider-man (1994 – 1998), whose title was Crucial momentIn addition to the film live too Spider-man (2002).
As we can see, the tribute on the cover of Ultimate Spider-Man nº 10 Replace the Green elf classic for the new version to which this line has presented us and changes us Peter Parker Of J. Jonah JamesonBut this does not prevent reference from the original cover from being clear enough.
Marvels nº 4 (1994)
On the other hand, we have this copy, which contains the adventure entitled The day he diedIt is the work of the screenwriter Kurt Busiek and the cartoonist Alex Rossin which the story of the death of Gwen Stacydue to the Green elfAlthough with a different approach, since it starts from the point of view of the journalist Phil Sheldonwhich, throughout the miniseries, is dedicated to the revision of important events of the Marvel UniverseSo it is logical to recognize that this adventure could not be missing.
Although this cover is not as iconic as the one mentioned in the previous section, there is no doubt that the adventure of its interior is inspired that many consider the best adventure of Spiderman Never created, in addition to this, does it correctly, without making any error of continuity with the classic plot.
While the eye of Spiderman It is almost identical on both covers, it is clear that the same does not happen with the reflection that we can see inside, since, in Ultimate Spider-Man nº 10, Gwen Stacy and the Green elf Are replaced by J. Jonah Jameson and the modern version of the classic criminal of the Arachnido hero, as we have already said, thus connecting the other cover of Homenajeda on the bridge of Ultimate Spider-Man nº 10.
